Doing so would be extremely risky— they could be targeted by snipers or shells from the German side. Alfred’s commanding officer knew that the only way to rescue his men was to send someone to locate them, and he asked if anyone would be willing to take on this incredibly dangerous task. Alfred volunteered. In 1972 he was awarded an honorary D.Litt. by the University of the West Indies [5] for his contribution to the development of West Indian literature.

Mendes' life was fascinating in many ways, one of these being the number of famous people with whom he interacted, with CLR James and Aldous Huxley standing out among all. Nobody even bothers to remember this man anymore and that is why, for me, it is so fascinating to find that not only did he meet so many, but he became close friends with many of these men and women. But if there is one thing I value Alfred in particular, it is because he was more than many could expect, myself included.

Tasked with entering and holding the village of Poelcappelle on October 12, the mist and drizzle of the morning offered some concealment, but not enough to, as Alfred wrote, “halt the massacre as we waded through. We came to a dead stop, flat on our bellies in the gluey mud, frantically wriggling towards a nearby crater…There were two bodies in the crater, mutilated and sprawled in the mud-water, their German uniforms barely recognizable.”

He earned a military medal for his service as a runner during the British assault on Poelcappelle in 1917. This saw him carrying messages and putting himself in grave danger, hiding from enemies and overcoming incredible odds. In reflection, his medal citation included: “For the whole of these two days he was continually on the move.” Peter is Sam Mendes' father. Mendes' parents divorced in the early 1970s, according to a New Yorker profile of the director.
